I can’t help you.
But I would say electric is a better option imo.  If my lacy reel fails I can hand wind it in. If the retractable one fails with the hose out, that’s your day done.

I think retractable reels are for shorter lengths of hose, i.e not 100m.

Alternative would be:

1 Quality manual rewind reel such as Hannay or Cox - much easier to wind in
2 Electric reel

I have had my Hannay reel 14 years, only part replaced (the "super swivel joint earlier this year). Expensive but durable and a pleasure to use.

No not a hose reel.  The pole hose part.. there's a company that has a gadget that keeps all your pole hose inside the pole so it doesn't drag on the ground.. I want it so I don't have to chick it in the van every clean after I feel in.
